我主請不要把這個粗魯人拿八放在心上；因為他的名字怎樣；他的為人也怎樣；他名叫拿八，他的為人也忘八；但是我、你的使女呢、並沒有看見我主所打發的僮僕啊。

義人轉離了壞事；惡人所行的、使他們走迷了路。

我親愛的弟兄們請聽，上帝豈不是揀選了世人以為窮的而富於信仰，以承受他所應許給愛他之人的國麼？你們呢、反倒侮辱窮人。豈不是富足人壓制你們，拖你們上法庭麼？

人若贏得全世界，卻賠上自己的性命，能得着甚麼益處呢？人要拿出甚麼來對換自己的性命呢？

如今你要明白、要看清楚你該作甚麼，因為禍患一定臨到我主人和他全家：他是個粗暴漢，沒有人敢和他說話的。』

按正直行的、敬畏永恆主；行徑乖僻的、卻藐視他。

至於我呢、我是依純全而行的；求你贖救我，恩待我。

故此我告訴你們，一切得罪人和毁謗人的事、都可以得赦免，惟獨謗讟聖靈，總不能得赦免。凡說話干犯人子的、他還可以得赦免，惟獨說話干犯聖靈的、無論今世來世、總不能得赦免。『你們要認清，或是說樹好，而它的果子也好；或是說樹壞，而它的果子也壞：樹是由果子而被認識的。毒蛇的種啊，你們既然邪惡，怎能說出美善來呢？因為由於心裏所充溢的，口就說出來。

因為你們的手被污染於血中，你們的指頭被玷污於罪孽裏；你們的嘴脣說虛假話，你們的舌頭嘟囔着奸惡。

人所願望於人的、是他的忠愛；做窮乏人比做撒謊人好。

他終日恩待人，借給人；他的後裔就成了使人蒙祝福的。
